Foreword
This edition of Ramble brings together works where the creators explore their embeddedness in a world defined by the networks of the (post)colonies. From photography projects to reflections and memoirs to propaganda posters, these works represent the heart of Ramble’s mission, to allow creators a moment to indulge in rambles, yet positioned within the overall goals of the Multilingual Pedagogy and World Englishes Committee (MPWE) of the Writing and Communication Program of Georgia Tech. That is, at its core, a space for considering the experiences and effective pedagogical practices relative to international, ESOL populations at Georgia Tech.
This edition of Ramble explores this idea of displacedness in the explorations of people’s comfort in their own skin, to examinations of the (dis)comfort of Friends and Pocahontas II, in the creative affordances of poetry, or in propaganda posters that push the boundaries of truth in our post-truth age. We hope you enjoy this collection and the work that it represents by the contributors and members of the MPWE committee, and hope that you will continue to follow along with Ramble in next year’s theme of “Margins.”
